How many times in your life will you buy something you can treasure for a lifetime not only for self-evident and intrinsic beauty, but also because of the genuine historical value it embraces? A piece of furniture from John Barnard's Victory Series will fulfill. Integrating precious and rare oak recovered from Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship HMS Victory, these stunning pieces provide a link to a glorious past.

From boardroom to home, a Victory table will grace and bring prestige like no other.

Who can resist running hands upon this wood and pausing to wonder about the men whose lives depended on its integrity and strength to protect them as they sailed in dangerous waters more than 200 years ago? Possessing and enjoying a unique treasure such as this will be an emotional experience for you, your guests and your heirs.

Using our Bespoke Services we can make pieces entirely designed to suit the particular space in your own home, office or boardroom - from a small, intimate coffee table of distinction to a dining table seating four up to one sufficient for a State banquet in a Royal palace - a Victory table will be the focal point for board meetings, memorable family gatherings, dinner parties and banquets. This will be your table, there will be no other quite like it. Hard wearing, robust and overflowing with beauty and history.

The Victory chairs are inspired by the spars of the great ship itself and its rigging and are incredibly comfortable for even the most Falstaffian of diners. They are optional.

The Suite consists of sideboards, cabinets, and a gorgeous coffee table. John Barnard can employ the Victory techniques in designing and making bespoke pieces specified by you.

The following photograph shows the Victory suite at Norwich School's Nelson bi-centennial dinner.  Horatio Nelson was a pupil at Norwich School.  Their connections with Nelson are exemplified by this dining suite design incorporating oak from The Victory in the table top and chair hand-pads.  This design was inspired by an ivestigation of the ship by John Barnard, hence the massive bronze caps and wedges holding down the top, and the gun-barrel legs with rails, based on the 'Victory' bell housing.  True British history beneath your hand.
